Namyang Dairy Product's shares soared 9.52 percent Tuesday following the much-awaited departure of Chairman Hong Won-sik from the top post.
Hong said he took full responsibility for claims made last month, backed by false reports, that the company's yogurt drink Bulgaris had anti-viral properties making it effective against the coronavirus causing COVID-19.
